...which says Altanmia's markup--about $1 per gal.--resulted in a $61 million overcharge. Halliburton says it used Altanmia only for fuel orders that had to be filled quickly, and then only with the approval of the U.S. military. Altanmia did not respond to a request for comment. Rex Wempen, co-founder of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Iraq, sees a political motive in the U.S. order. "It was part of the Kuwaitis' diplomatic price for supporting the war," he says...
